I’ve been having a lot enjoyable in my sketchbook recently! I’m taking part in with all types of textures (as I combine media) and I’ve been having fun with utilizing color combos which are totally different from my normal ones.
On Friday I shared all my January sketches and answered numerous combined media questions through the first livestream inside my new Sketching Journey Group on Patreon. It’s very particular to have this new place to share extra work and concepts with such a supportive group of sketchers. I’m so proud of how this neighborhood is forming – so an enormous due to everybody who’s already a part of it.
Throughout this livestream (the replay is on the market for paid members of the neighborhood), I revealed the supplies I’ve been utilizing in the intervening time – Neocolor II crayons (see right here for my present choice), Posca acrylic Markers and… one thing model new… a 12 color palette of Kuretake Gansai Tambi paints. These are semi-opaque paints which are someplace between gouache and watercolour however as they’re made with a distinct binder, (“Water soluble resin” is what the Kuretake website says) they usually really feel fairly totally different. I’ve been having fun with the problem of attempting one thing new. I’ve been utilizing the Muted 12 color set (you may see the colors within the picture on this submit on Patreon), and it’s been numerous enjoyable to work with a decidedly quirky collection of colors.
Listed below are just a few of my pages from final month to offer you an thought of the number of color and texture I’ve been creating.
I hope that you’ve got had a great begin to the yr together with your sketching.
